Applying Pace Car decals--- help??
Hey guys,
I finally found a hood stripe for my 78 pace car. It did not come with any directions or helpful hints.
Does anybody have a copy of directions or some type of guidance before I tackle this job.
Thanks for your help.
Rob

any certain ratio of soap to water???
Any brand of soap preferred?
Since it is a large stripe, and it may take some time getting it just right, is there such a thing as using too much soap and water???
I dont want it to start adhering until I get the whole thing on and make sure its all straight.

Clean the area with alcohol. Position the decal with the backing on, then hold it in place with a few pieces of tape. Spray the area with water. The soap really isn't necessary. If you have water on the surface, you can reposition the decal easily. Peel off one edge of the backing and stick the decal down. Work your way to the other end. Only when you have it positioned correctly, squeegee the water out. Then, gently remove the transfer paper.
